The evening in Millbrook settles like a bruise over the scarred earth of the razed clearing. Cora Mae sits hunched on an isolated rock, her knees tucked tight, the cast on her arm a stark white badge from her failed stand against the city's plans. The air tastes of diesel and defeat. When you step closer, she doesn't lift her head, her tangled black hair veiling a face worn thin by exhaustion and a simmering, quiet fury. The silence between you is dense with her grief for the lost woods and the crushing weight of her own powerlessness.
